Welcome to Duntroon School
The BEST We Can Be | Ko te pai e taea e tātou
Established in 1879, Duntroon School carries a proud heritage as a cherished heart of our local community. Tucked into a picturesque township bounded by State Highway 83, Livingstone Street, and the Maerewhenua River, our school welcomes children from across a wide rural catchment—spanning Campbell Park in the west, Blackpoint to the east, and Danseys Pass to the south, with three dedicated bus runs bringing our students together each day.
We are fortunate to learn and grow in an extraordinary natural setting. Set against a backdrop of ancient history, rich geological formations, and world-renowned fossils, our school is uniquely situated within a UNESCO Global Geopark. This landscape serves as a living classroom, inspiring curiosity and wonder in equal measure.
For students from Year 0 to 8, we offer stimulating, engaging, and rich learning experiences tailored to help every child thrive. Our dedicated, collaborative team of educators works hand-in-hand with a supportive Board of Trustees and a vibrant local community to foster an environment where children feel valued and encouraged.
At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Honesty, Respect, Perseverance, Cooperation, and Inclusion. These principles bring life to our overarching vision: "The BEST We Can Be" (Ko te pai e taea e tātou).
Ngā mihi nui
Good evening families
We have had a day of low numbers again - 43 students on deck today!
Miss Milmine was back as was Mrs Phillips and Monika.
Thank you for keeping your child at home if they are unwell - we are hoping next week looks a little better. If they are even half pie well, please keep them at home tomorrow so they have the weekend to get to full health.
We will not be doing the sausage/pattie and bread tomorrow. Our parent helpers are sick as well. We will catch them up on the week they have missed.
Hope you are all keeping warm.

Well the flu bug has arrived at Duntroon School in full force!
Half the students and 3 teachers away. Luckily we had Mrs Kingan with us today which was a great help.
The buses are still running but obviously will be a little quicker as not as many students to stop for.
Please keep your children at home if they have any flu like symptoms as it moves very quickly.
Thanks everyone.
Hi again.
Look out for the minivan, private vehicles and a different bus than usual.
Please contact Sarah if need: 027 4349068
Thank you.
Hello.
We're waiting to hear more from GoBus. Please check for an update soon.
Thank you
A message from the organisers of todays event.
Kia ora Team,
The North Otago Primary Schools Cross Country will be going ahead this afternoon.
Please ensure that children dress appropriately for the weather and that their shoelaces are tied securely.
There will be no jumps on the course due to the course being wet (apart from the fence the children have to go over to get into the paddock closest to the finish line).
The weather is supposed to clear and although it will be a bit muddy underfoot, these are good cross country running conditions.
Volunteers and spectators, please make sure you also are dressed for the conditions.
Parents, please support our local businesses
